    Kenneth Anger: Where The Bodies Are Buried - Esquire 10-01-14 10:49 Kenneth Anger: Where The Bodies Are Buried - Esquire Photo by Brian Butler On a recent warm afternoon in Los Angeles, Kenneth Anger was taking a walk in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Anger, 86, is the US’s most celebrated underground film-maker, named as a major influence by directors as disparate as Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and John Waters. He is also the elemental spirit whose life draws a connecting line between some of the most intriguing figures of 20th century arts and Bohemia: the occultist Aleister Crowley, Jean Cocteau, the sexologist Alfred Kinsey, Anaïs Nin, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. Anger has always liked visiting cemeteries. “They’re peaceful,” he says. “They’d better be...” And Hollywood Forever, formerly the Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery, has a personal significance. It is the resting place of a number of famous Hollywood stars and stands behind the original Paramount lot; in fact, the studios were built on a part of the old cemetery. Anger is an authority on old Hollywood. He is the author of two volumes of Hollywood Babylon, http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/features/5483/kenneth-anger/ Page 1 of 19 Kenneth Anger: Where The Bodies Are Buried - Esquire 10-01-14 10:49 the classic account of Tinseltown’s most infamous scandals, from the silent era up to the Fifties. A number of the cast are buried here. Rudolph Valentino, whom Anger considers the quintessential Hollywood star (“he had a short, tragic life [dead at 31] and left a big legend”) is interred in a crypt in the Cathedral Mausoleum.

  • Hands Up! by Steve Massa
    Hands Up! By Steve Massa Raymond Griffith is one of silent come- dy’s unjustly forgotten masters, whose onscreen persona was that of a calm, cool, world-weary bon vivant – some- thing like Max Linder on Prozac. After a childhood spent on stage touring in stock companies and melodramas, he ended up in films at Vitagraph in 1914 and went on to stints at Sennett,- L Ko, and Fox as a comedy juvenile. Not mak- ing much of an impression due to a lack of a distinctive character, he went be- hind the camera to become a gagman, working at Sennett and for other comics like Douglas MacLean. In 1922 he re- turned to acting and became the ele- gant, unflappable ladies’ man.

  • Marcelo Ramos Motta Carta a Um Macon.Pdf
    Carta A Um Maçon Por Marcelo Ramos Motta Texto Integral Rio de Janeiro, 9 de julho de 1963. Caro Dr. G.: Faze o que tu queres há de ser tudo da Lei. Li, com maior prazer, a entrevista concedida ao Diário de Notícias, através da qual o Grande Oriente do Brasil manifesta à nação a sua intenção de, finalmente, fazer com que a Maçonaria venha a ocupar na vida brasileira o papel que lhe cabe e sempre lhe coube desde a Independência -- que, como todos sabemos, foi feita por mações. Relembrei nessa ocasião minha conversa com o senhor, e as nossas palavras de despedida, nas quais buscou o senhor gentilmente trazer à minha atenção o fato de que (na sua opinião) a Igreja Católica Romana é uma boa introdução à vida adulta para crianças. Eu lhe disse então: "Mas a Maçonaria é infinitamente melhor", e aproveito esta oportunidade para repetir e ampliar estas palavras. Eu não quis discutir a validade ou falta de validade da Igreja Romana como campo de treino para crianças, porque não é assunto que se possa, propriamente, discutir. É assunto que deve -- repito, deve -- ser pesquisado por todo homem consciencioso e responsável, principalmente por maçon de alto grau e no Brasil, onde essa Igreja teve tanta influência na formação psíquica do povo -- com os resultados que estamos vend o no presente. Para esta pesquisa, vitalmente necessária a todos os maçons neste momento de transição, é necessário uma análise cuidadosa da evidência espalhada pelas obras de muitos pesquisadores imparciais e fidedignos; e isto não pode ser resumido numa breve discussão.

  • Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’S Magick Lantern Cycle
    Doyle White, E 2016 Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle. Present Pasts, 7(1): 2, pp. 1–10, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/pp.73 RESEARCH PAPER Lucifer Over Luxor: Archaeology, Egyptology, and Occultism in Kenneth Anger’s Magick Lantern Cycle Ethan Doyle White* One of the great figureheads of American experimental cinema, Kenneth Anger (b.1927), is internationally renowned for his pioneering work, recognisable for its blend of homoerotica, popular and classical music, and dark, symbolist imagery. A follower of Thelema, the religion of infamous British occultist Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), Anger’s work is imbued with occult themes and undercurrents rarely comprehen- sible to the non-initiated viewer. In exploring these esoteric ideas, Anger makes use of archaeology and heritage in his short filmsEaux d’Artifice (1953) and Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954–66), as well as in the lost films The Love That Whirls (1949) and Thelema Abbey (1955), which utilize such disparate elements as Aztec human sacrifice and putative Renaissance Satanism. However, this theme only reaches its apex in Lucifer Rising (1980), an exploration of Thelemic theology filmed at such sites as Avebury, Luxor, and Karnak, which reflects and propagates the Thelemic view of the past—an ‘alternative archaeology’ rooted in Crowley’s own fascination with Egyptomania. This paper seeks to explore Anger’s use of the past and place it in its proper context of twentieth-century Western esotericism. Kenneth Anger (b.1927) is one of the foremost figures of through the transformation of individual consciousness American experimental cinema, an artist who produced via artistic mediums (Hughes 2011: 12).
